TO ALL WHOM IT MAY GONCERN: v

Be it known that I, PHrLo H. MUNSON, of Franklin township, in the'county of Erie, and State of Pernsylvania, (Edinboro Post Oice,) haveinvented a. new and useful improvement onl Washing Machines; .fand I dohereby declaretha't the following is n. fulLclear, and exact-ceseiiption of the construction and operation of the' saule, referencebeing had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification,in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view, and v Figure 2 n.. sectionthroughz v v A, the main roller, tinted on the surface.' J5, the axle ofthis roller at the orank end. C, the axle or bearing at the oppositeend. d e, conneeting-rods,'by` which pressure is applied to the `:nainroller. fg, bar

eonneetngthese rods, on the l'niddleof vwhich-the lever z" l presses.h', weight luy-which, as it moves towards ivorgthe-pressure ongf and thebearings B 'C and roller is increased or diminished. z" Z, the lover,.hinged atl,-caxeryingl Epmd pressing at g the middle point of the barfg, `j, a bar running across the bottom of the Iwal-sieben,and fastenedto it, for the purpose of furnishing guides for the eonneotiug-rods d c.k, a bar fastened to the bottom of the hoxfin the middle Aof which isattached the hinge m. n o, four blocks fastened tothe inside ofthelwash-box, to hold the roller-frame. p q, the frame for the smallrollers.- -n and a and p q are net sectional views through x y, butperspective views as they appear on the side of the box represented iniig. 2. 7 r2, small rollers, with bearings at each end running in p q,the sides of the rollerframe; vthe nuin roller barely touches theserollers. S E', the connecting-rod and bearing on the opposite side of,tlie box. So far this gure is not a 'section throughs y. t a, metalbottom nailed sefzurely 'to the sides andends. Instead of the weight,springs may be used to press roller A down. i

The loperation is as follows: The box is filled with water above therollers r. When the motion \f the main roller is from A. towards q thegarment is thrust. in at r1. The' 'pressure and motion of roller A carryit through over roller rlif. Before the garment 'passes entirely fromroller 'r the motion of the crank-end of roller Ais reversed,v and as itmoves from qrtowards A the garment is carried between roller A androllers t" r2 rl. Before it has escaped from roller 1" the motion is`again1-eversed, and so on until the garment iswashed. v

Small garments are placed in a net-work sack, and are thus runthroughthe machine together.

What I claim es my invention, and desire' to secureby Letters Patent,is- AThe' arrangement of `the small rollers r with thev crank-roller A,pressed down by the lover, vveighnand their connect-ions, allconstructed and operated substantially as described.
